'For the First Men, the end was only the beginning.'

Journey into the staggering imagination of Olaf Stapledon in this first volume of the definitive future history of mankind. Narrated by Luke Meinier Dalofin, Part 1 of Last and First Men chronicles the twilight of the First Men—the humans of our own era—as they grapple with global conflict, the rise and fall of the American World State, and the eventual biological shifts that pave the way for the species to follow.

This volume covers Chapters 1 through 4, setting the stage for a cosmic chronicle spanning two billion years and eighteen distinct human species.
